Summer is finally here, and there’s no better time to turn your attention to the heart of the home. Whether you’re hosting long, leisurely lunches or simply enjoying the slower pace that the season brings, the right dining table and chair combination can completely transform how a room feels.
From clean contemporary lines to farmhouse warmth and industrial edge, we’ve curated a selection of pairings to suit every interior, because your dining room should feel as good as the season itself.
If your style leans towards the contemporary, the Layla Square Dining Table and matching Layla Dining Chair combination is one that quietly commands attention. The table’s walnut veneer top, with its beautifully crafted patterning, sits atop a sculptural pedestal base that feels considered and refined, a natural focal point that can comfortably bring up to eight people together. Paired with the Layla Dining Chair, which brings plush upholstery, a gently curved padded backrest and a sturdy hardwood frame, the overall look is one of harmony. Available in warm beige, rust and moss green, the earthy tones of the chairs complement the rich walnut of the table effortlessly, making this a pairing that works effortlessly well in a family dining room.
For those who prefer a bolder, more characterful dining space, the Butchers Block Dining Table and Jubilee Chair pairing delivers exactly that. The table itself is a real talking point, a traditional farmhouse-meets-industrial design crafted with an oak centre and striking contrasting pine wood edging, full of warmth and personality. The Jubilee Dining Chair brings just the right amount of edge to the combination, with its black powder-coated metal frame and refined ribbed fabric detailing in a palette of subtle, sophisticated tones. Sleek and minimal without sacrificing style, the Jubilee also stacks neatly when not in use, a practical touch that makes it as well suited to commercial interiors as it is to the home.
There's something deeply inviting about the Tavistock and Florence pairing, a combination that sits beautifully between French country charm and modern Nordic calm. The Tavistock Oak Dining Table, with its beautifully turned baluster legs and delicate detailing, brings rustic appeal and family sized generosity to any space. It's also available to purchase with an oversized x-frame or a star base, and in an extendable version for when the table needs to stretch to accommodate a crowd. Alongside it, the Florence Leather Dining Chair introduces a quieter sophistication; its curved, ergonomic backrest and rich walnut wood finish feel genuinely premium, while the full leather seat is easy to live with as it is to look at. Together, the two pieces strike the balance between relaxed and refined perfectly.
Warm, generous and full of character, the Oak Extending Farmhouse Table is the kind of piece that anchors a dining room beautifully. Crafted from carefully selected solid oak, with all the natural grain, knots and imperfections that make each piece truly one of a kind, it sits on traditional Victorian-style turned legs with brass castors, adding an authentic, heritage feel. With two large extension leaves that take it from six to ten seats, it’s a table built for real family life and the kind of gatherings that linger long into a summer evening. Paired with the Bentwood Kitchen Rattan Dining Chair, its curved top rail and cross-back design an enduring classic, the result is a dining space that feels effortlessly lived in and lived, whether styled in a rural farmhouse or a city kitchen with country soul.
For those looking to make a real statement, the Ashfield Rectangle Dining Table and St Moritz Yeti Bench is a pairing unlike any other in our collection. The Ashfield is a genuinely luxurious piece, its ribbed solid oak base hand crafted to blend classic and contemporary influences in a way that immediately elevates a dining space. Alongside it, the St Moritz Yeti Bench brings an unexpected and wonderfully tactile addition: made from real sheepskin, it sits on four solid oak legs and introduces a depth of texture that works beautifully against the table’s clean lines. It's a bold combination that suits a Scandi-inspired interior as naturally as it does a country home in need of something a little different, confident, considered and completely distinctive.
